An interesting, beautifully written book. It took me a little while to get into, and at times, I felt the writing was a bit too grave, but the story is so unexpected and the descriptions make you feel like you really are in Amsterdam. Highly recommend for lovers of historical fiction and unsolved mysteries.

A serious story, a little bit of fantasy, very engaging read!

One of my all time favourite books - the simultaneous power and powerlessness the Nella has throughout the story is fascinating - this is a book I've read multiple times and this is still something that fascinates me.
The mystery of the lives of the people surrounding her woven through with the mystery of becoming an adult and the added intrigue of the enigmatic miniaturist makes this such a gorgeous read.

I'm not sure what to say about this one. It seemed the story would've been the same if the miniaturist wasn't even part of it. I enjoyed reading it, but I'm not sure what the point was - what I was supposed to take away from it.

Pretty entertaining. Overall it fell a bit flat.
